Crawick Multiverse is situated in southern
Scotland, 29 miles north of Dumfries off
the A76 road, 1 mile north of the town of
Sanquhar.
This complex was built on the site of a
former open cast coal mine with it being
completed in June 2015. The creation represent
ideas from modern cosmology such as the Milky
Way and Andromeda galaxies.
About 2,000 boulders were used to create the
Crawick Multiverse with the Sun Amphitheatre
holding up to 5,000 spectators.
The north-south line, or avenue, has about
300 boulders, and the Northpoint allows 360
degree panoramic views for about 20 miles.
Charles Jencks
born in Baltimore USA, designed the Multiverse
for the Duke of Buccleuch on his Queensberry
Estate. The Duke lives at Drumlanrig
Castle 11 miles south, also a top tourist
attraction.
Charles Jencks became famous in this area
after creating the Garden of Cosmic
Speculation at Portrack House 22 miles
south. This garden is normally only open to the
public one day per year.
